Cherrapunji is a small town located on the southern edge of Khasi Hills about 4823 feet above mean sea level. Cherrapunjee is locally and now officially known as ‘SOHRA’. Khasi people of Mon-Khmer origin inhabit it.

It is the headquarters of Sohra Civil Sub-Division and falls in East Khasi Hills District of the Indian State of Meghalaya.

Meghalaya is one of the seven states of North East India with Assam to its North and sharing an international border with Bangladesh on its South.

The Rainiest Place on Earth

The average annual rainfall at Cherrapunjee from 1973-2007 is 11,952.2 mm (i.e. 39.21 feet .

The major cause for Cherrapunji receiving the heavy rainfall be attributed to the orographic features of the Khasi Hills here.

Cherrapunji falls directly on the path of Southwest Monsoon known as the Indian Summer Monsoon / Asian Summer Monsoon. The deep gorges around Cherrapunji help to funnel and converge the low flying rain bearing clouds over Cherrapunji. The upward thrusted rain clouds rapidly cool as they reach higher altitudes, condense and deluge Cherrapunji.

The Living Root Bridges

are exclusive to Meghalaya in the whole world. The stem of a species of Indian Rubber tree- Ficus Elastica- are trained over 20- 25 years to form these living bridges to cross fast flowing rivers and streams. Some of these bio-engineering wonders are 53 feet, 70 feet and 100 feet long.

The Double Decker Root Bridge has two levels. They are grow in strength by the day. These bridges are reachable on foot throughout the year and are used by villagers everyday. Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort helps you with guides to see these Living Wonders.
